you have to proof to the finansiers that you will have the ability to repay
the loan. Prepare a proper business plan.

The business plan consists of a narrative and several financial worksheets.
The narrative template is the body of the business plan.
The real value of creating a business plan is not in having the finished
product in hand; rather, the value lies in the process of researching and
thinking about your business in a systematic way. The act of planning helps
you to think things through thoroughly, study and research if you are not
sure of the facts, and look at your ideas critically. It takes time now, but
avoids costly, perhaps disastrous, mistakes later.
This business plan is a generic model suitable for all types of businesses.
However, you should modify it to suit your particular circumstances.
You will be judged by the quality and appearance of your work as well as by
your ideas.

Sindy:

I am going to be completely honest, the reason why it is hard for small
businesses to get funding is because they are usually a poor credit risk. The
blog that was pointed to by kburger makes this clear when it says "...Seven
out of 10 new employer firms survive at least two years....", you have to ask
yourself why would anybody lend to that type of borrower?

This does not mean that finding funding is impossible. The fact that your
bank declined you does not mean that other funding options are not available.
If you really want to be successful you are going to have to learn to deal
with rejection, and use the "NOs" as an opportunity to learn.

For example, what do you mean by "not enough credit"? Is it personal credit?
If so, what is your credit score? Do you have a copy of your credit report?
Getting a credit report is free. Find out why it is bad, and take steps to
improve it.

Depending on the amount of money that you need, you might want to take a look
at other funding sources such as peer to peer lending. If you have
residential real estate, you might consider getting a residential mortgage.
If you have family, you might want to consider asking for their help.

Well stated. NOs are definitely a part of the equation in business. Whether
you are seeking a loan, applying for a grant or just pursuing new clients.

"A rejection is nothing more than a necessary step in the pursuit of
success." - Bo Bennett

What truly separates the successful entrepreneurs from the rest of the pack
are those who learn early how to deal with rejections and find other means to
advance with their goals.

Hi Sindy! Starting any business can be challenging. Many others have faced similar business and life challenges and have overcome them to succeed and so can you. You don't need a government grant or bank loan to move forward. You can still accomplish your dreams in spite of circumstances.
All the best in your pursuit!
